High-Priced SG

Jrue Holiday – New Orleans Pelicans ($7400): As I mentioned earlier, both Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins are out tonight, and Holiday might sit too. But assuming he plays he would have some insane usage tonight. He played just 24 minutes against Denver in his last game though, so keep an eye out for news about his status throughout the day.

Klay Thompson – Golden State Warriors ($6900): With both Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins out, the Warriors could throttle the Pelicans early and that would likely end Thompson’s night quickly. But if he gets a decent workload he is definitely in play.

Bradley Beal – Washington Wizards ($7000): Washington can still improve their seed so it’s assumed Beal will see full minutes tonight. However, Beal has been fairly quiet of late with six straight games under 40 FP. But he’s at home tonight and playng the Heat, a team he’s averaged 45 FP against this season.

Timothe Luwawu-Caborrot – Philadelphia 76ers ($5900): We’ll put TLC in the high-priced section due to the lack of high-priced depth at shooting guard tonight, and he’s come on strong since given increased playing time. He could be an excellent value play if he could connect on a few more shots per game. He’s seeing heavy minutes and getting close to 15 shots a night, so the usage is there. We’ll see if he can boost his fantasy point totals tonight.
